The all new extension to Tagliarchy Island.

Oh OK, like I said I haven't ever read the book. I asked my husband though and he agrees that it is set in England.

I read it in my Honors Language Arts class in November of last year. And by the way, we're both wrong, it takes place in Russia.

The book says that it starts in England at least though.

I'll confirm anything once I am done.

OK I did a google search.

The story takes place on a farm somewhere in England. The story is told by an all-knowing narrator in the third person. The action of this novel starts when the oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones.

The novel Animal Farm is a satire of the Russian revolution, and therefore full of symbolism. Generally, Orwell associates certain real characters with the characters of the book.

So it is set in England but is a satire of the Russian revolution.


I guess I need to read the book myself now!

Good morning!!

I've never read "Animal Farm," but maybe I should. Have any of y'all read "Alas, Babylon?" I really like it. We're having to read it for Pre-AP English... Yeah, it's really good!

I gotta get off the computer because there are some large thunderstorms coming my way!!

hugs!!!! How are you? How is your son? School going well so far?

 

[s&k'smom]

Hey cheering mom, I'm good thanks!

DS has settled very nicely into school. He loves using the computer, he does transition kinda roughly from school to home but then settles. He is pretty excited about our upcoming trip and it does help that his pschiatrist is giving him a "cocktail" for the plane ride.

How are you?

are you going to WDW for the tag meet??????? oh how fun for you!!!!!!

 

[MonorailDude]

Yes. *sigh* Have fun you all. Ashton's trip seems to be coming to an end. She's probably miserable now.

Cocktail as in alcoholic drink like a martini. Wow! lucky kid.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

 

[s&k'smom]

You guys, what I mean by cocktail is a little medicinal rememdy. DS is very afraid of the plane but can't wait to get to Florida. I'm going to miss the tag meet as we are going from 10/30-11/6 at AKL. He has really come along way this year but his anxiety gets in the way.

It would be so cool to run into some diser's while I'm there.

So sorry we won't get to see you at WDW but I'm sure you'll have a wonderful trip. And I don't blame your DS at all for needing a "cocktail" to get him through the plane trip. I'll be flying down on one of Delta's little jets and they always terrify me with the huge dips they tend to make Wish my doc would prescribe me a little "cocktail" too....guess I'll just have to rely on a nice glass of Merlot

 

[s&k'smom]

cadbury'smom I could give you the name of my son's pyschiatrist! Of course let's hope he gives him the family size prescription. I'm so sorry I'm gonna miss you guys but one of these years I'll get there with you.
